Jin Sanshan and his troops did not act rashly, because in Jin Sanshan's opinion, their operation was arranged by Liao Fan, so their operation must be very valued, since it is so valued, of course Jin Sanshan will not fight with the little devil, he decided to beat the little devil once.

Jin Sanshan has been arranging for soldiers to go out to reconnoitre, and then wait for an opportunity in the shadows.

The command was still as quiet as ever, everyone was dull on the eve of the war, and now all that the 33rd Independent Division could do was wait. Even if there is no intelligence sent now, Liao Fan can't easily leave the headquarters, he has to stick to his post in the headquarters at any time, once there is information at this time, it must be an important thing.

"Old Lu, call me when there is information to send me, I'll sleep for a while!" Liao Fan said to Lu Liming that Liao Fan only slept for more than two hours last night, and now he must rest well to be able to deal with the emergency.

The three people who have seen the longest in the headquarters, in addition to Liao Fan, are Li Lingfei and Lu Liming, as Liao Fan's personal guard, of course Lu Liming can't leave at any time, and Li Lingfei is now a staff officer of the 33rd Independent Division, of course, he must also give advice in the headquarters at any time.

As for Chu Pengtian, he has already separated from his spy squad, but now that the spies squad has developed into a spy platoon, he is already in charge of fifty people, and these fifty people are all equipped with a war horse, of course, the war horses are all sent by the second regiment. The spy platoon had its own station, which was just over a hundred meters away from the headquarters.

And Chu Pengtian, who finally escaped from the headquarters, has his own station, if it weren't for something important or Liao Fan looking for him, he would rarely run to the headquarters, according to what he said, since the spy platoon has its own station, of course some things can't trouble Liao Fan. However, Liao Fan knew better in his heart that Chu Pengtian must be lazy in a place where he couldn't see.

Of course, Liao Fan didn't care if Chu Pengtian was lazy, after the last confinement, he believed that Chu Pengtian had realized the importance of military regulations and military discipline, as long as Chu Pengtian didn't make mistakes in the big aspects, Liao Fan didn't care about him.

The weather in Taihang Mountain is still cloudless, although there is wind, but the wind blows out seems to be hot, knowing that it is boring in the trees, passing the hot weather. Liao Fan had already entered his own sleep, and no one disturbed him.

Compared with the quiet Taihang Mountain, Jindong is very lively, during the day, trains gather to Jindong from all directions, some trains are transporting troops, some trains are transporting supplies, and some trains are still plundering important resources in Shanxi.

When they found that the Japanese army's forces were mainly concentrated in Jindong, they breathed a sigh of relief, because the Japanese army was not coming at them, but they were more curious about who the Japanese army was moving so many troops to.

The last series of intelligence showed that the little devils assembled in Jindong in order to attack Taihang Mountain. But this result made them even more puzzled, there is only one division of troops in Taihang Mountain, and the maximum is about 10,000 people, and the Japanese army has gathered more than 100,000 troops, which is simply an incredible thing.

In the end, all forces came to a unanimous conclusion, that is, the 33rd Independent Division would definitely not be able to survive this time, and all forces began to play with the idea of Taihang Mountain, for example, they could send people to secretly contact some officers of the 33rd Independent Division, or simply planned to send troops to Taihang Mountain after the 33rd Independent Division was wiped out by the Japanese army.

No one was optimistic about this battle, including Chairman Chiang and Chen Cheng, who were far away in Chongqing.

"Cixiu, what do you think of this battle?"

"Is the commission talking about Li Zongren's department in the fifth war zone or Taihang Mountain?" Chen Cheng asked cautiously.

"Let's talk about the fifth war zone first, I've seen the battle plan of Delin and discussed it with you, it's just the two of us now, I want to hear the specific thoughts in your heart!" Chairman Jiang said.

"Judging from the battle plan, there are no problems, and according to the telegrams from the Fifth Theater in recent days, although the Japanese army has gained superiority in local areas, it is still very advantageous to us in the general direction, and General Li has launched several small-scale counteroffens with the arrival of the rainy season, which has made the Japanese army suffer a lot." Chen Cheng said.

"In addition to our Central Army, the strongest combat effectiveness belongs to the Gui Army!" Chairman Chiang's face was expressionless, and he was in a high position, and he could not show any dissatisfied expression in front of his subordinates, especially at a time of national crisis, as the supreme leader of the whole of China, he must take into account the overall situation.

Of course, Chen Cheng knew what Chairman Chiang was worried about, and when China and Japan were not yet in full swing, Li Zongren united forces from all sides to fight against Chiang, and made Chairman Chiang suffer a lot, and this matter will always be a thorn in Chairman Chiang's heart.

"Commission, General Li commanded the Battle of Taierzhuang, and he has made meritorious contributions to the nation in the war against Japan, and the Fifth Theater is in the north of Sichuan, which is the gateway to Sichuan, if the Fifth Theater is lost, we can only withdraw to Yunnan!" Chen Cheng carefully considered every word he said, although he knew very well what Chairman Jiang was thinking, but now the party-state needs military talents like Li Zongren, and when the nation is in danger, he cannot do something unsightly at this time.

"I don't know, otherwise I wouldn't have arranged for six divisions to enter the Fifth Theater and strengthen the defense of the Fifth Theater!" As the supreme commander of the whole country, Chairman Chiang certainly knows better than anyone else the current situation in the whole country.

Chen Cheng just smiled lightly and did not speak, he knew that Chairman Chiang arranged for these six divisions to enter the Fifth Theater, in addition to strengthening the defense of the Japanese army in the Fifth Theater, there were two other reasons, but as Chairman Chiang's cronies, he could not have any doubts.

"Last time I saw Liao Fan in the Huangshan Mansion, the first time I saw that guy, I felt that he was not very old, but he had wisdom that did not match his age." Chairman Jiang shifted the topic to Liao Fan.

"From the moment he entered Chongqing, I have been sending people to supervise him until he leaves Chongqing, even if it is now their office of the 33rd Independent Division in Chongqing, I have arranged for someone to supervise!"

Chen Cheng knew very well in his heart that Chairman Jiang was worried that Liao Fan would get very close to Yan'an, and if such an officer with combat ability fell to their opposite, they would have to consider the consequences.

"When he returned to Taihang Mountain, we also tested him, and we gave two orders to the 33rd Independent Division, but they didn't carry it out!"

Chen Cheng knew these two orders, one was when they wanted to counterattack Wuhan, and the other was when the Battle of Nanchang was due. However, according to military common sense, if Liao Fan came according to Chongqing's orders, then Chen Cheng doubted whether he was really capable of leading the troops.

"Chairman Jiang, I have investigated some previous things, during the Battle of Wuhan, a Soviet pilot piloted a plane that fell in Taihang Mountain, and it was Liao Fan's subordinates who rescued him! And during that time, they seemed to have reached some kind of agreement with the Eighth Route Army! ”

Hearing this, Chairman Jiang frowned, there was a trace of uneasiness between his eyebrows, and his eyes became a little messy.

"Didn't the Eighth Route Army withdraw from Taihang Mountain last year? Were they in touch during this time? Chairman Jiang asked.

"We don't have any information on this yet, but judging from all aspects of the information, Liao Fan has no intention of contacting them, but he has no intention of contacting us either!"

"Does this kid want to be a prince? Let's see if he has the ability! Chairman Jiang's words were very plain, but he revealed a sense of disdain, "In the future, the intelligence of the 33rd Independent Division will be analyzed separately, and you will be in charge of this matter, and I will also arrange for them to investigate on the side of the military commander and the chamberlain, at least to determine what Liao Fan wants to do." ”

"It's really hard to say whether the independent 33rd Division can survive or not." Chen Cheng suggested.

Chen Cheng is also not optimistic about the 33rd Independent Division, this time the little devil gathered more than 100,000 troops to besiege Taihang Mountain, even if the combat effectiveness of the 33rd Independent Division is strong, it is difficult to survive such a large-scale encirclement and suppression. Therefore, Chen Cheng feels that it is a bit too early to attach importance to the independent 33rd Division now.

"Back then, ** in Jinggangshan did not escape under the encirclement and suppression of our hundreds of thousands of troops, we can't repeat the mistakes of the past, if the independent 33rd Division can survive this time, we must pay more attention to this Liao Fan who suddenly appeared!"

Thinking of the old past, Chairman Jiang's heart tightened, some things seemed to be in the past, but he knew that this matter would never pass.

"I understand, commission, I'll do this when I go back."

"Actually, I'm not very optimistic about the independent 33rd Division this time, but we can't underestimate the independent 33rd Division, in such a short period of time, we can take care of Taihang Mountain in an orderly manner, which is enough to prove Liao Fan's ability in some aspects, I now regret letting Liao Jundong go back!"

Chongqing is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and Chairman Chiang is the Son of Heaven in Chongqing, and what happened in Chongqing certainly cannot be hidden from Chairman Chiang's eyes, unless he does not want to know. From Liao Jundong's accident to Liao Fan's departure from Chongqing, Chairman Jiang knew all these things, although they were not so specific. He wanted to leave Liao Jundong as a matter of one sentence, but he still hesitated, so an office of the independent 33rd Division appeared in Chongqing.

"Commission, since the 33rd Independent Division can establish an office in Chongqing, should we build an office in Taihang Mountain?" Chen Cheng suggested.

Chairman Jiang just smiled lightly: "That kid probably won't allow us to do this, right?" ”

"It's his business to allow it or not, all we want now is his attitude, and the matter is on the bright side, everyone still has room for negotiation! What's more, the 33rd Independent Division still nominally belonged to the battle sequence of the National Revolutionary Army. ”
